Select Local Merchants

The treatment menu at Sun Spa enables clients to select their preferred method of tanning from a roster that includes six levels of UV tanning beds and the UV-free VersaSpa system. Inside each of the five locations, Sun Spa's bronzing booths remain available 24 hours a day, presenting patrons with the opportunity to work around unorthodox schedules or warm up after bone-chilling nightmares. A selection of lotions by Australian Gold augments the effects of light-powered tanning excursions, and a storefront display of swimwear and handmade jewelry complement newly golden glows.

At Skin Solutions, located inside Rio Salon, the staff has an express set of goals: to reduce the signs of age and get rid of unwanted hair while impacting their clients' day as little as possible. To these ends, registered nurse Kathy LeFever leads an aesthetic team through the use of Botox and noninvasive lasers, filling out wrinkles and zapping unwanted hair from head to toe. And the combination of these two treatments is indicative of the larger trend that all the aestheticians follow—pairing pampering services with medical-grade technology. Facials and peels, for instance, offset IPL facial treatments and micro-pigmentation cosmetics, which render eyeliner that lasts up to five years, by which time everyone will have CGI eyeliner.

A certified permanent makeup instructor and licensed tattoo artist, Kim Hausmann keeps her fingers on the pulse of the beauty world, gussying up clients with the latest trends in permanent makeup and spa services. After a consultation, Kim applies tattooed eyeliner, beauty marks, and lipstick with hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested pigments that are fully smudgeproof and waterproof. Kim also services clients who need scar camouflage, areola coloration, and treatment for vitiligo.

The follicular technicians at Brow Threading whisk away facial hair with a removal procedure that's more precise than waxing, plucking, or facial-hair immolation. During the five-minute treatment, one of Brow Threading's hair-removal heroes employs intertwined pieces of thread, which trap follicles and pull them out in the same direction by the root. Hair removal lasts up to four weeks, demolishing unwanted soul patches or sculpting eyebrows into a permanent state of surprise.
